Event Navigation

An epic ethnic BBQ Eats festival is coming to Toronto for the first time this summer! The BBQ Eats Festival will feature ethnic BBQ flavours from around the world. This brand new food festival will be the largest free admission festival of its kind.

This June’s BBQ festival will be a kaleidoscope of international flavours including Japanese, Indian, Greek, Jamaican, Chinese, and Filipino just to name a few, and for those who would rather skip the meat, there will be plenty of vegetarian options as well as Halal! The theme surrounding the festival is community, cultural diversity and bringing people together over the common love of BBQ.

In addition to the multitude of offerings of food and drink, there are many special activities that festivals goers can partake in. There will be live musical performances, fashion shows that showcase ethnic diversity, busker-style entertainment (like fire eaters), craft beer and BBQ pairings, BBQ cooking classes, carnival rides and games, marshmallow-roasting fire pits, eating competitions, a waterfront beach lounge and a market place.

And for the city with a burgeoning foodie Instagrammer population, there will be plenty of opportunities to share food porn pics from the BBQ Eats Festival. Guests can expect everything from heaping plates of classic barbecue to some more unusual offerings. Stay tuned as exciting menu items will be revealed leading up to the event.
